The resolution celebrates the 100th anniversary of Lester Memorial Methodist Church, which will be observed in April 2024. It highlights the church's historical significance in the Oneonta community, tracing its origins back to the late 1800s with the establishment of the First Methodist Episcopal Church in 1887. The resolution details the church's evolution, including the construction of "The Little Brick Church" in 1913, the unification of various Methodist congregations in 1938, and subsequent expansions and renovations that have occurred over the decades to accommodate growth and community needs.

Additionally, the resolution acknowledges the church's commitment to serving the community through various programs, such as its Kindergarten and daycare services initiated in 1977, and the establishment of a contemporary worship service in the 1980s. It also notes the church's recent transition in 2022, when it disaffiliated from The United Methodist Church and joined the Global Methodist Church in 2023. The resolution concludes with a formal recognition of the church's milestone and expresses warm wishes for its continued success and future anniversaries.
